JOSEPH DIXON was among the earliest settlers on Horse Creek. He was the principal mover in establishing Zion Chapel, in Cotton Hill township, in the spring of 1821, to which he afterwards deeded five acres of land for church and cemetery purposes. His family are buried there, but he died in 1844, at the house of a daughter, near Franklin, Morgan county, Illinois, and was buried there.
